Sounds passive my friends. Really does. Had no idea it was active, which I have always had a personal aversion to. The biggest qualm I have with the website is how terrible the guitar looks in the pictures; in person this sucker is awesome. Just a great instrument that is capable of everything but crystal clear cleans. Try one, it's awesome.
